MSI GUNGNIR 100 Mid-Tower PC Case Review

How Much Does it Cost?
The MSI GUNGNIR 100 Mid-Tower PC case has a lot of premium features. Plus, it comes from the very highly regarded MSI, so you would expect it to cost around £120 right? Well, that’s what I would have guessed. You get an ARGB hub, tempered glass, four pre-installed fans and more. However, you get all this for the low-low price of £88.92. That’s a bargain as far as I’m concerned. You can check for US stock and prices here.
Overview
MSI has knocked it out of the park with the GUNGNIR 100. It’s a good size case that can easily handle pretty much any high-end gaming PC configuration. The biggest graphics cards, massive radiators, huge air coolers, and plenty of storage drives. Not only that, but it’ll do it all with room to spare too.
Build Quality
The case is pretty robust, the internal structure is plenty robust. Of course, with the impressive water cooling support, it needs to be able to handle the weight. The front panel and top panel are plastic, which is likely where they’ve trimmed down the price a bit. However, the fit and finish looks fantastic, and they’ll get no complaints from me there.
Of course, you also get four high-quality fans pre-installed. All of it is dust filtered and provides plenty of airflow right out of the box. With the inclusion of plenty of built-in ARGB lighting on the front panel, as well as from the rear fan, your lighting game is going to be strong too.
Added Value
Not that I haven’t listed a lot of features already that add value. However, it’s the little details that I like. The extensive amount of quality rubber grommets for the cable routing are certainly welcome. Plus, you get that metal cable routing cover behind the motherboard, as well as Velcro straps. There are four removable SSD mounts, as well as a fully removable 3.5″ drive tray. Then you have a massive PSU shroud that keeps the build looking clean, four pre-installed fans, and a massive tempered glass side panel.
Should I Buy One?
Honestly, it’s one of the best deals on a high-end mid-tower PC case right now. You get plenty of change from £100 and loads of cool features that are sure to appeal to most PC gaming enthusiasts. Sure, it’s a bit flashy for the office, but for a kick-ass gaming PC, it’s perfectly in tune with market trends.
